Research groups within the Center for Pediatric Research Leipzig (CPL) commit themselves to improve medical care for children and adolescents here in Leipzig, Germany, as well as the rest of the world. In order to create new effective therapies for many diseases we pursue a translational approach by closely linking clinical and basic scientific research. Beside several national and international collaboration partners we maintain a close cooperation with the LIFE Child study site, the Integrated Research and Treatment Center for Adiposity Diseases (IFB) Leipzig, as well as the Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB) Leipzig.
